Hi guys, thanks the show.
The story of the teenager with the coins reminded me of the time when we changed our Austrian Schilling to the Euro: some of coins of the sixties and seventies also have a high percentage of silver in it, so one have to take care what to change or better to keep. 🙂
Your talk about the way you’re working is very motivating for me, just because I see that even in busy or troubled times you keep up the quality of your work. That’s very inspiring.
I’m happy to hear, that you’ve planned to put on more AudioBoos. They are always a pleasure!
And finally I enjoyed the “Dance of the Urbanite” very much – great stuff.
It pleases me to hear that we’re inspiring you a bit, as I also find a lot of fuel in the podcasts that I listen to, as well as in the creative works of the members of the community which has begun to spring up around Flash Pulp – including your poems!
Thank you for the kinds words, and the comments: I’m saving the Schilling to Euro story for the next FlashCast. 🙂
I’m also still interested in an Austrian’s views on cowboys!
Yes, the notes about the cowboy-culture are still here to my right hand. I just couldn’t find a silent moment yet to put them in understandable sentences. I hope I can make it during the week.
@ Schilling to Euro: It was incredible; somehow I felt like an idiot to get acquainted with the new money and I missed the natural feeling on what things are worth, I mean not to know if you buy cheap or expensive. Very strange 🙂
I’m very much looking forward to your notes on cowboys.
I can also definitely understand that feeling of confusion – there’s still a lot of back and forth here regarding measuring things in metric or imperial.
My parents still reference the temperature in Fahrenheit, which means little to me as I do everything in Celsius, but, on the other hand, Mr Eight measures height in centimeters, but I still tend to convert things to feet.
Math is frustrating at the best of times, I don’t need people constantly changing the scale of things on me. 🙂
“I don’t need people constantly changing the scale of things on me”
I won’t be that guy and won’t go there, but if I did it would be one of these:
A- Viagra joke
B- some variation of “that’s what she said”
C- John Wayne Bobbitt joke
Ha!
